I always thought that his mispronunciation was done on purpose, to show his contempt for Michael and his disgust at having to make nice in public. He pronounces "Cor-lay-own-ay" just fine when he meets with Michael afterwards in private, insults Michael and makes his own rather greedy demands.

I agree he mispronounced in on purpose when he was speaking to the public. He even failed to mention Kay's name when he said "Mike, Pat, stand up."

"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
